Team News

Barcelona
Real Sociedad
  • Oriol Romeu could earn a couple of cameos come the end of the season - he has been confirmed to be leaving the club in the summer.
  • Fermin was fielded on the left-wing in the 4-2 loss against Girona - he could move into the trio in the centre instead of Sergi Roberto. On the other hand, Pedri could fill that role, keeping Raphinha on the bench.
  • Pau Cubarsi has been a star this season, starting 14 games in his debut season - he has had his contract renewed until 2027.
  • Hamari Traore is hopeful to be ready for Monday night, though he will be assessed over the weekend.
  • Igor Zubeldia has served his suspension but will likely be sidelined for another couple of weeks with a muscle injury.

Prediction

  • Real Sociedad travel to Barcelona on Monday night, likely having to gain something from this tie to go ahead of Betis in the Europa League qualification spots. A 1-0 loss to Real Madrid is the only La Real loss in their last five matches, though the reverse fixture between these two back in San Sebastian ended 1-0 to Barcelona in November.
  • Barcelona need a victory if they want to be hailed as the most successful team in Catalonia come the end of the season - they currently trail Girona in 2nd by a single point. Barca are in need of a dominant performance after losing three in their last five.
  • Barca should get over the line here as Xavi starts to think about tactical tweaks and his pre-season and how to chase the La Liga title next year.
